History of over 200 culverts on the C&O Canal. This report has been prepared to satisfy in part the research needs for the preservation/stabilization of the culverts on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. More than 200 culverts of varying dimensions were built to pass the smaller creeks and streams under the canal. Previous to this report, John R. Miele wrote an historic structure report on Culverts Nos. 114–118 (January 1964). The purpose of this study is to complete the historical research on the culverts along the entire length of the canal. Because of the common histories of these structures, an effort has been made to deal with them in a comprehensive manner while at the same time pointing out distinctive differences in their design.
